Romney’s view: Corporations are people, union members are not.

Friday, November 2, 2012

Under President Obama, we have seen private sector job growth for 33 consecutive months. We are on the path to getting out of this mess, but putting Romney and the policies of George W. back in the White House is NOT the answer.

Walmart and Target have a lot in common, but the HUGE similarity this piece completely left out: both retailers will stop at nothing to keep unions out, and workers’ wages and benefits at extreme lows. Getting good paying jobs in retail is already an uphill battle, but we have no doubt it would become even harder under a Romney presidency.

The great American middle class wasn’t something that just happened – it was built brick by brick. It was built by soldiers returning from war and a government that repaid them by giving them a shot at college.

It’s time working and middle class Americans use our strength in numbers to reclaim the American Dream. We need a counterweight to the power of big money – and that’s the power of big numbers, the power of ordinary people who work for a living demanding to have our voices heard – from the workplace to Washington.
